about us
who we are
our vision
The pride & remembrance run is a 5km fundraising run/walk organized and operated by the philanthropic and athletic-oriented Pride and Remembrance Association.
The pride & remembrance run is the only annual athletic event during Toronto's Pride Week, promoting and fostering community spirit, goodwill, volunteerism, and sportsmanship in the Canadian 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Founded in 1996 in Toronto, Canada, the 5km run and 3km walk is the largest, long running and most fun pride run in Canada.
The Pride and Remembrance Association is a not for profit volunteer-run organization dedicated to supporting Toronto's 2SLGBTQ+ community.
Each year the Pride and Remembrance Association selects and supports charities focused on providing youth, health/wellness, and cultural support services to the 2SLGBTQ+ community. The beneficiaries receive 100% of the charitable pledges raised by run participants. Since 1996, runners have raised over $3.7 million to support our beneficiaries.
